While Mitch Mitchell will always be my favorite Hendrix drummer, Buddy Miles was certainly no slouch. R.I.P.

I liked Buddy Miles... I wasn't a big fan of the Electric Flag or Band of Gypsies, but I really liked his solo stuff. His version of Down By The River is so very wonderful...

Plus, at one time the dude had one of the coolest afro haircuts of all-time...

Right in the pocket;

Miles Davis' favourite of Hendrix's drummers.




First I heard of him, even before I heard Band of Gypsys:



Outstanding album if you can ignore the fake looped crowd noises.
